Mike, You sound like you're trying to excuse it for not being there instead of just embracing a good feature that works? Yes, there are ways around, BUT, the Canopy AP-SM proxy *just works*. No thinking about how to get to that SM is required, if you can get to the AP then you can get to the SM - end of story.
